Cycling for Transport
Cycling can be one of the cheapest, quickest, and most environmentally friendly ways of making short journeys in your local area.
Cycle routes
More cycling routes and cycle-friendly facilities are being developed as part of the Bee Network. There’s a cycling map for each of the ten areas of Greater Manchester. You can pick them up at a TfGM travelshop, local library or at some council offices and bike shops. Or you can download the cycling district maps from the TfGM website.
Bike hire
If you’d like to give cycling a go, but you’re not ready to commit to buying a bike, find out more about Manchester’s bike hire scheme and bike libraries.

If you’d like to develop your confidence to ride in your area or to ride to work, TfGM offer group cycle training sessions or one-to-one bespoke sessions where you can plan a specific route. Find out more about cycling training courses.
